Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1676200-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (162 Ohms), tolerance (±0.1%), power rating (0.1W), composition (thin film), and temperature coefficient (±10ppm/°C) must remain identical.

Mechanical Specifications: Package type (0805 / 2012 Metric), physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W), and maximum seated height (0.026") must match exactly to ensure compatibility with printed circuit board layouts and assembly processes.

Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) must be maintained.

Manufacturer Consistency: All substitute parts are sourced from TE Connectivity Passive Product to ensure manufacturing consistency and quality standards.

Substitute parts identified within this grouping share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics, differing only in packaging configuration (tape and reel versus alternative formats) and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 1676200-5 and RN73C2A162RBTDF are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity Passive Product and are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary distinction between these parts is the packaging configuration and regulatory compliance documentation.

The RN73C2A162RBTDF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format and carries explicit ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status. This part is suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments where tape and reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes.

The 1676200-5 maintains an active product status with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements, assembly methodology, and regulatory compliance documentation needs for the end application.

Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030, indicating equivalent export and tariff classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN73C2A162RBTDF be used as a direct replacement for 1676200-5 in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching resistance values (162 Ohms), tolerances (±0.1%), power ratings (0.1W), temperature coefficients (±10ppm/°C), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C). The 0805 package dimensions and termination configuration are identical.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. The RN73C2A162RBTDF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the 1676200-5 uses standard packaging. Additionally, RN73C2A162RBTDF carries explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical physical dimensions of 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm). They are fully compatible with the same PCB footprints and assembly equipment.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: The RN73C2A162RBTDF in Tape & Reel format is optimized for high-volume automated assembly processes, where tape and reel packaging reduces handling and improves pick-and-place efficiency.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The RN73C2A162RBTDF carries explicit ROHS3 compliance certification. The 1676200-5 lists RoHS status as "Not applicable," indicating it may not have formal RoHS documentation. For applications requiring RoHS compliance verification, the RN73C2A162RBTDF is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating they require no special moisture protection during storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the PCB assembly process and packaging requirements are compatible. The electrical performance and mechanical fit are identical. Verify packaging format compatibility with your assembly equipment and procurement workflow.
